Golden birds [Gaulden's message to Alabama fans]

[1982Alum]

maybe, sure seems like your "mommy" should have spit.

I'm amazed you have time being a greeter at Wal-Mart to be sending back responses. Good boy! Daddy would be proud of you if we only knew which one he was that night.

Here's a good Friday morning read about the origin of Gaulden's double barreled salute and it's long history in American sports.

Middle finger often in the middle of sports controversy

Poor coaching has a unique way of bringing out the lowest common denominator in all.

 

[OneVolNation]

Yes, one on hand, and with one finger, he showed "the lowest common denominator in all" because any whole number is equal to the value of that number over a denominator of 1.

One the other hand, with his other finger, he simply rounded to the next whole number to brilliantly express, what in mathematics is called, "The Golden Ratio" (1.618).

Two quantities are in the Golden Ratio if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities.

He knew bammers could never remember this without both a visual illustration and a mnemonic like "Gaulden Ratio" to help them learn it.

If anything, Gaulden should receive a thank you from Alabama and extra credit from Tennessee.

If you expect every college player to be a saint, you’re highly mistaken.

This season is shot. Butch knows it and the players know it.

What on earth did we have to lose in this game? NOTHING.

Gaulden showed fire and the aggression to try to compete despite having to play for a horrible coaching staff.

Honestly, who cares anymore at this point? It’s been nothing but negativity this whole season.

I do. I dont want to see losses to vandy or ky.

Even w terrible coaching players gonna step up either for pride or fear of getting embarrassed

 

[volmark]

I really get sick of these walmart jokes, I started out as a cart pusher and now I'm a Co-Manager making 70+ grand a year. Not really understanding these walmart jabs.

It was a personal foul. He got the penalty. He will run stadium steps. That is plenty of punishment. People overreacting saying he should have been benched. That comes across as something else to pile on Butch for "oh his day should be done"! I want Butch gone too but saying he should sit Gaulden for an emotional response is crazy.

He should have been benched, not only for the rest of the game but the next game as well. Butch is fond of saying he is the care taker of UT football, The game is on National tv, in front of wives, girlfriends, and kids in the stands, this finger gesture is not representing Tennesse football the way it should be represented.
